Ghislain Poirier’s new album on Ninja Tune — No Ground Under — has just been released in Canada and will come out in the U.S. in early ’08. The first single from the album is Blazin’ which features ragga vocalist Face-T and has remixes by The Bug and yours truly. I’ve taken this opportunity to make a second remix —…

RIAAdiohead
In it’s first week Radiohead’s new album In Rainbows was downloaded 1.2 million times and even though they allowed the “buyer” to choose what they want to pay — including nothing — it has apparently fetched an average of $8 per download. That means that they’ve brought in something like $10-million, which is more than the first-week sales of their…
One Duran; “Canned Heat” DJ Mix
DJ One Duran of the 1200 Problems crew in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, North Carolina runs a radio show there called New Science Experiment. I’ve been meaning to point you toward this interview he did with me for their blog where we talk about heedlessness (one of my favorite words), among other things. Interview with DJ C on WXYC blog -> In…
M’Bot Re-Edits Mix
Here’s another mix! It’s mainly ’80s Italo- & Montreal disco, hi-NRG, & synth pop, with a lot of super-duper-exclusive re-edits that you’ll never ever hear anywhere else (unless you come see me play out). No grand overarching theme like the New Beat mix; just a lot of tracks I like strung together.

Skull Disco 2xCD Drops Tuesday
For those of y’all who aren’t up on Skull Disco, it’s a dubstep label run by Shackleton & Appleblim, a couple of Londoners who are among the most consistently interesting (if not the most consistently dancefloor) dubstep producers out there at the moment. Their new Double CD on Rough Trade, “Soundboy Punishments”, is a pretty comprehensive collection of what they’ve…
New Yorker, You Disappoint Me.
I quote my dear friend and Midwestern-cum-Swedish-transplant biochemist Evan: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present the shittiest article about music ever written.” Sasha Frere-Jones – A Paler Shade of White: How Indie Rock Lost Its Soul, from this month’s New Yorker. In this article, the New Yorker pop critic, former Ui frontman, and brother to type designer Tobias Frere-Jones (a.k.a. “the…
‘Ruff In The Bunny Fizness’ Out Now!
Hey everybody! As of this week I’ve got a new DIGITAL RELEASE (what a crazy new world in which we live!). It’s called “Ruff in the Bunny Fizness”, and it’s a collection of a bunch of my past jungle work re-mastered, re-EQed, re-mixed, etc. (with really cute art from Magda Boreysza).

Yo Gabba Gabba
I was telling Chrissy-Bot about the new children’s TV show Yo Gabba Gabba yesterday and he began chanting the refrain from Krome & Time‘s classic jungle track License (Remix): Yo yo yo yo Gabba gabba gabba gabba Download: Krome & Time; License (Remix) [audio:uggc://jjj.znfuvg.pbz/nhqvb/Yvprapr%20Erzvk.zc3] Of course they’re actually saying: You You You You Have-a Have-a Have-a Have-a But it’s so…
Radiohead In RIAAinbows
I downloaded the new Radiohead album — for free! As many of you have probably heard, they decided to “sell” their new album only through their website; no label involved. I say “sell” because you can choose what price you’d like to pay, including $0.00. I chose to “purchase” the album at the very lowest of prices, just to make…
